Chapter 633 The Spectral Attack Begins



Two nights later...

At midnight on this day, it was silent on most of the streets of Peters City while much of the local population was sleeping as usual.

In the city center, there were still a few people here and there, some chatting in bars, others working cleaning the streets, the parks or even doing surveillance work.

But these were few individuals, and for the most part, they didn't make any noise.

However, while they were working, many couldn't help but look up at the sky and feel goosebumps.

This night was particularly cold, even though this was not a time of year when it was cold locally.

One of the imperial family guards at this city's post was watching the street in front of this building and couldn't help but comment to his shiftmate.

"It's really freezing today, isn't it? I can't even remember the last time I felt so cold..."

The other man had a cup of hot drink in his hands and couldn't help but agree. "Yeah, it's freezing... But that cold, I don't really know, but I have a bad feeling.

I feel like something dreadful is going to happen."

...

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the Frost estate...

Outside this estate, all the streets were totally darkened, while something seemed to prevent the streetlights from working properly.

The guards of this family were in position watching the area but were unable to activate the formations of those streets. They were merely waiting for the day to return to make the necessary repairs.

But while these few people around this place held their positions, protecting themselves from the intense cold that was now coming, the darkness of the night was mixing in with a dark fog in some spots around this property.

In these places, something similar to what had been happening in Simon's family home was developing, with spectres coming out of the ground, rising from the bitterness and resentment of the dead around this place days ago.

However, what was happening around this place was not comparable to what was developing inside Simon's house.

There, this man's spectre was fully formed, having just reached its peak!

Amidst the changes generated by his strong resentment, this spectral creature had reached level 16!

'Kill! Kill!'

He thought in his chaotic manner but with a clear focus on revenge and killing.

Feeling that he had reached his peak, this creature connected with the other spectres in the vicinity of this estate, an ability of the strongest over the weakest among these beings.

As the only Transcendent spectre in the area, this creature naturally was the leader of all the level 15, 14, and 13 beings appearing in the surrounding area!

When he did this, the creatures hiding in the shadows looked in his direction and readily accepted his orders.

Within moments, they were flying toward the interior of the Frost estate, ignoring the physical barriers in their path.

They then targeted the men around this property, good targets to possess and add to their forces.

Amid this nightly action, Simon's spectre left the house where he was born and flew toward the residence of the patriarch Aiken Frost!

With his movement, dozens of family members would notice something wrong happening as they felt a powerful evil force surrounding that property.

But the spectres' movements were challenging to counterattack and were swift so that few could act against them in time.

By the time the first cries of alarm went up around that estate, these evil spirits had already invaded several family guards!

With the first of these men invaded by spectres, they soon began to chaotically attack those who had no darkness themselves.

And so, cries of terror and pain began to rise up in the middle of this place.

It was all beginning. This was the beginning of the terror of the Frost family!

...

"Aiken, something is wrong!" Mabel said to her husband as she felt a terrible feeling in her heart.

She was getting ready to go to bed with him but suddenly started to feel a horrid sensation and stopped while still standing beside their bed.

Aiken was going to ask what it was. Yet, he immediately noticed darkness approaching them and swallowed his saliva, noting that this was by no means simple.

Even before any other words were spoken, Mabel was already dressed in her battle armor, and he was putting on his.

However, before they left their room to go after the problem, the leader of the problem came to them.

When they saw a horrible-looking specter appearing in their room, the two felt chills in their bodies, noting that this creature was at level 16.

At the same time, it had a strong murderous intent against them!

The two put up defensive positions, circulating their energies as they prepared to fight.

"Aiken, run away. This creature is too strong for us to handle!" Mabel said, pale, for as much as she was not far from level 17, she was still at the same level as that creature.

Her soul was strong, but that being had only mental attributes, something challenging to counter.

She had little chance of beating him, but Aiken had none! If he stayed there, it would be his end!

Simon's spectre knew well who was the strongest and the weakest there, and as a being that strengthened itself from its targets, he immediately targeted Aiken, the easiest for him there!

"Shit!" Both Aiken and Mabel screamed at the same time, seeing that creature flying toward him.

Aiken tried to do something, to run away and defend himself but against a level 16 opponent there was nothing a level 15 cultivator like him could do.

Mabel even tried something to stop the spectre from reaching her husband, but it was futile.

She had powers that could be used against this being, unlike Lothur, who had no soul power before and could only rely on his abnormal abilities. But even though she had the means to act, this was not so simple, and she failed.

Unlike what she would have to do against a living person, against a spectre, Mabel had to use only Soul power, focused on annihilating the spirit of the spectre.

This could be done, but first the cultivator would have to bind the spectre so that they could focus their forces on crushing it.

That was the problem!

Spectres were beings without a body, which could even pass through solid objects. So hitting them was not easy!

Their bodies would only become more corporeal if they were trapped in a special spiritual formation, something that could not be done as quickly as the attack of one of them.

That's why Mabel missed as that creature entered her husband's body!

"Mabel..."

"AIKEN!!!" She screamed desperately, watching her husband fall under the control of that creature of darkness!
